we haven’t gotten calendars yet. no way to know.

1) your definition of hate crime is not accurate. hate crime laws have no mention of “dominant” or “marginalized” groups. it’s solely a crime committed based on racial, sexual or some other prejudice. contrary to what you are implying, hate crimes can be committed against a member of a purported “dominant” class.

this has nothing to do with Trump. Trump is horrible, but every terrible thing that happens in this world isn’t directly tied to him. it becomes an issue of the boy who cried wolf. if you keep blaming Trump for things that he didn’t actually cause, it diminishes the instances when he gets blames for things he actually…

he went to jail for catcalling? i can agree that it’s something that people shouldn’t do, but i don’t know if actual jailtime makes sense.

that’s still acting. there are dozens of black actresses they should cast instead. this is stunt casting, purely to pump up the box office.

McCain likes to play the part of the moderate maverick (TM) in the Republican party, but he’s no different than the rest. It’s just an act. He voted for all of Trump’s nominees besides one, and that one was because the guy even suggested that the military get less money.

Mainly just hoops.

but that’s the definition of rape that they use in the study. it forms the basis of the entire study. so, if the foundational definition used is one that is too broad (lies and especially verbal pressure don’t always equal rape, depending on the specifics), the results are going to be higher than in reality.

“raped, either through force, threat of force, incapacitation or other forms of coercion such as lies and verbal pressure” 

It looks like you forgot the part that came right before the excerpt you quoted:

1) that very clearly doesn’t require the terrorist be a part of some sort of group. since you don’t even really though on that, I assume you concede that your first point (asking if a group has claimed responsibility) actually is not at all required for something to be considered a terrorist attack. there are…

Nope. Wrong again.

Literally neither of those things is required for something to be a terrorist attack. I like the hustle though.

“Make as many excuses as you’d like, but there is a difference between how the media covers attacks against mostly-Muslim civilians vs non-Muslim ones.”

“I’d die.”

His example is ridiculously stupid, but I do agree that discrimination can go in all directions. I think this modern notion that “real” racism is only possible when it’s committed by a group in power against groups that aren’t in power is absurd. Sure, institutional racism is almost always targeted at non-white groups…

“I saw the movie when I was a kid.”

I think part of it is that Cinderella and Jungle Book aren’t nearly as beloved, or widely seen, to a modern audience as Beauty and the Beast. So, Beauty and the Beast has a pretty high standard to meet right off the bat. I saw the movie. It was fine. The animated movie is better, but this isn’t bad. This movie is…

Am I the only person who has never really cared that much about accents, unless the movie is a biography or some sort of historical event? For fantasy films, I just don’t really care if the characters have a weird mish-mash of accents. I mean, in the animated film some of them just had blatant American accents. Who…

“YOu could argue this is them doing a version of that again, bringing their Beauty and the Beast story to the next generation.”
